Noodle 1 Dining: Vietnamese Food in Stuttgart Germany





In a Thriving city center area, we found Noodle 1

The challenge with finding any new location of a favorite genre of food, is deciding which dishes t try. After all, holding a new site up to your crutch dishes from a perennial favorite is a little unfair. Looking at the starters, I generally twist between whether or not a Goi-Cuon or Cha Gio, and Satay or Mon an goi lettuce wraps is the best measure of a restaurants appeal to my taste buds. Fortunately Noodle 1 offered a very straight forward choice with a special platter for 2 that let us try their complete selection of appetizers. Satay Chicken, Goi-Cuón, Cha Giò, Wan Tan, butterfly-shrimps with dips

The special platter for two



 In a break from the typical Vietnamese restaurants is the lack of Pho on the menu. So that relieved us from any predisposition to only have Pho and judge the place based on whether or not we liked this Pho over another Pho.

These two bowls of noodle goodness were the dinner options for us this Friday evening in Stuttgart. After a few weeks of Schwabisch and Bayerisch dining a bowl of hot asian noodles were just what the doctor ordered.

MÌ GÀ CHIÊN
Vikram based on the fine pictures in the menu thought the Mi Ga Chien looked interesting, and the description sounded the most like what he normally eats at his favorite place in Madison. Egg noodle soup with marinated chicken, fresh Asian vegetables and coriander. On refelction after it was done, Vikram lamented the choice they made to serve the chicken on the skewers. texturaly even if he had taken the chicken off the skewers, the size of meat chunks might not have come off perfectly.

REIS BAND, beef noodle soup
I opted for the Rice Band, which I can find no parallel for in my reckoning of previous Vietnamese meals. Not Pho, not Bun Bo Hue. Very tasty new dish for me to break those crutch habits. Noodle soup with fine strips of beef, fresh herbs of Asian vegetables, finished with Sambal Olek bean paste. The Rice Band, which I find I like, I now need to find if there is an equivalent at the other Vietnamese restaurants that I like.

Moonrise Kingdom, a cozy craft beer bar in Tokyo-Shinjuku

Craft Brewing is not what normally comes to mind when people ask about Japan. They'll ask if you like raw fish (there is more to Japanese cuisine than Sashimi or Sushi), or they'll comment about Sake (there is more than just rice wine in Japan); but if you look, you will definitely find some. Our recent trip to Tokyo, this April just after the Sakura had been swept away by rain :-( we were able to find a perfectly suitable refuge for the Craft Beer Lover.  Moonrise Kingdom(via their Instagram) StringGrrl with one of the NEIPA/Hazy IPA on tap from Japanese Craft Breweries As a treat, the owners shared an American Milk Stout from Left Hand Brewing out of Colorado Local ExPat who gave up their stool to make room for StringGrrl and Kam Carryout beer from Kyoto Brewing Company, Vertere

Brewery Tour by Canoe: Boardman Lake, Traverse City, MI

 Boardman Lake is smack-dab downtown in Traverse City, MI. Easily accessible from the lake are three, maybe even four breweries. Local kayak liveries have scheduled tours to kayak and bike to several local breweries and taprooms. So on this August Sunday, StringGrrl and I decided that we should make the tour ourselves.  Coffee first! It would be irresponsible to embark on day drinking un-caffeinated Boardman Lake Trail Bridge and entry to the River There is a free public launch in Hull Park, just behind the Traverse Area Public Library. Parking adequate for up to 5 cars and up to 5 trucks with trailers, right near the launch and more parking elsewhere in the park made for an easy launch that morning. We paddled our way into the river first to have a coffee while drifting through town. Ideally, one should be able to portage the canoe past the dam and connect directly into Grand Traverse Bay, but construction near the dam made that portage just inconvenient enough that StringGrr...
